About this race
Nepal's biggest city marathon, first held in 2007 and now in its 18th edition on Saturday 10 October 2026. The AIMS-certified event, organized by the NRS Sports Foundation, starts at 5:30 AM from Dasharath Rangasala, Kathmandu's largest stadium, at about 1,300 m - a modest valley altitude, not a high-altitude mountain race. The autumn date shifts yearly; clear, mild, post-monsoon October is peak season. Distances span the full 42.195 km, half, 10K, 5K and 3K.
